I agree completely. I've worked hard all my life, been knocked down and got back up more than once; having someone attempt to take what isn't theirs isn't a good feeling and makes me quite angry. I agree with you also, society will get worse, and I'm not sure if enough can be done in the right measure to reverse the slide. 

Don't feel inadequate, that you're already working on it means your far more prepared than most; it's a credit to you and it's good to hear. Little by little you'll move it forward, become more prepared and that's how it should be. 

Thanks for taking a read and commenting, it's much appreciated.
